Does anyone know if the new DCC equiped locos are wired the same as the DC locos?

Example: If I take the tender from a DC 2-8-0 and put it behind a DCC 2-8-0 in place of the DCC tender, will the loco and all lighting work?

The tenders of the spectrum 2-8-0 is the same.  To Make it DCC you pull the plug and plug in a decoder.  The wires are the same. The difference is the dcc had the plug pulled and the decoder pluged in.

Thats great news, when I purchase a few additional locos I need for my roster, I can forward the decoders to some of my friends who use DCC.
